[quote=Anonymous]I'm a teacher, so I was never at those things for my kids. I had neighborhood parents who would cheer for my kid, or give them a hug. Some of them worked full time but had more flexibility. I'd pay them back by inviting their kids over on snow days. I didn't feel guilty. If my kid said "Why can't you be there like X's mom." I'd say "I have to be at my school then. X's mom isn't a teacher, so she is able to take off work. I take my leave when school is closed. I'm looking forward to taking to doing . . . with you on . . . (whatever break is next)! Mr. Y is coming for Johnny, and he told me he'd get a picture of you with your project!"[/quote]
